It works for me though - if I have network boot selected that I can bring up the boot menu with F12 and select the hard disk instead? What I suspect you may be referring to is the fact that if you don't have network boot set as the default then the F12 boot menu doesn't include the network option - so you can't be set to boot from the hard disk by default and then choose to boot from network instead using the boot menu. I too find that rather annoying, but as I say it is (I believe) a qemu issue rather than a libvirt issue.
